Jay, I assure you, the pleasure was all mine.

Meeting all of you guys, smoking cigars with a million dollar view and seeing the worlds fattest geckos has truly been some of the highlights of this trip.

Sorry it took so long to respond. I didn't get a chance to go online before I got on the plane to Oahu and once there, I didn't have much of a chance to do anything other than Pearl Harbor, the Punch Bowl and a drive to the North Shore before I had to hop on the plane to come back to Maui.

Maui is a lot more my style and I'm very happy to be back. For a while it was looking like I was going have to cut the vacation short and fly back home because it looked like my Dad had a stroke yesterday. He's in the hospital at this time and they aren't sure what happened to him yet, but they no longer feel it was a stroke and the MRI shows that the cancer hasn't gone to his brain. He seems to be doing better at this time.

I'd like to meet up with you guys again for another herf before I go back home, but I'm not sure when it's going to happen. Were hoping to hit Hana tomorrow and I'm going day by day with Dad.

Thanks for those great cigars. They were really a treat!

Take care.
Ken

I want to thank Dan, Jay and everyone else that gave me advise.

My wife and I loved Maui and got to meet a lot of great people and see a lot of great things.

I really want to apologize to Dan and Jay for not getting back for another Herf, but after my Dad went into the hospital, I spent a lot of time talking and Emailing doctors, nurses and the hospital. It put a damper on the rest of the trip and we just ran out of time.

Dad got out of the hospital the day before I got home, but he is not doing well and last Friday the doctor gave him 1 maybe 2 weeks to live. Cancer is such an evil thing.

Right now the world seems to really be spinning a lot faster.

My wife and I have already agreed that we will be coming back to Maui. If you would still have me, I would really love to have another Herf with you guys.

Take care and thanks again.

Thanks Guys.

Dad passed away Thursday morning, 3 years and 3 hours after Mom passed.

I have so much I have to do for the near future, but I am looking forward to getting back to both Smokey Joe's and Maui.

Take care and hope to see you guys soon.
